Aether

Background

This project was developed by Team Straw Hats during the Tech Triathlon hosted by Rootcode.

Problem statement

The Intergalactic organization wants to start their own space travel agency. They understand that booking interplanetary travel tickets can be a complex and confusing process. Therefore, Intergalactic’s goal is to provide an application that simplifies the booking process and provides a seamless user experience for citizens travelling from one planet to another. Intergalactic has reached out to our team to develop their Interplanetary travel application.

Requirements

The primary goal of this application is that it should have a simple and intuitive user interface that guides users through the booking process step by step. The following requirements were requested:

• Design a mobile-first solution.
• Users should be able to search and compare travel options by travel mode, destination, price, and departure date.
• Users should be able to view detailed information about their destination before making a decision, including climate, culture, and popular tourist attractions.
• Users should be able to enter their personal information and payment details easily.
• Users should be able to access their booking information through the application.

Design

The wireframes and high-fidelity prototypes we designed in Figma for this project can be found here.
